What is Monero?
Monero (XMR) is a Layer-1 blockchain network currently ranked 18th by market capitalization across all crypto assets we track. As a Layer-1 network, XMR provides settlement, consensus, and computation for a wider ecosystem of applications. The token plays a dual role: paying for transaction fees, and acting as the economic incentive securing the network.

At the current price of $322.30, Monero carries a market capitalization of $5.95B. Daily trading volume across exchanges sits at roughly $127.68M. That works out to a 24-hour turnover of about 2.15% of the float — consistent with healthy market activity for a mid-to-large cap asset.

Volatility profile

Over the past 30 days, the 30-day move totals -11.82%, which traders should weigh against position sizing and stop-loss placement.
How to evaluate Monero
A balanced read on XMR typically considers three lenses:
- Network & on-chain activity — does usage justify the valuation? Live activity (above) should ideally trend up over time.
- Cycle position — current price relative to ATH (above) sets the risk/reward asymmetry. Closer to ATL is mathematically lower downside; closer to ATH is higher downside.
- Comparable assets — how is XMR performing against the broader crypto market (BTC, total market cap) and against peers in the same sector? The benchmarks chart on this page shows this directly.
This page combines live market data, on-chain stats where available, exchange-by-exchange volume, and our forecast model so you can answer those three questions in one place. Nothing on this page is investment advice — it's a structured starting point for your own due diligence.
